"Multifactor authentication is valuable."

More Microsoft Entra Permissions Management Pros →

"It provides a lot of out-of-the-box functionalities. You don't have to do too much custom development like other solutions such as Microsoft or NetIQ. It also has a lot of out-of-the-box connectors for different sources, directories, databases, etc. Its cloud version is working very well, and its pricing is okay. Its value for money is fine for most of the customers. It is also very flexible. They have frequent new releases and patches for fixing errors and things like that.""I find the built-in connectors, lifecycle management, certification, and recertification features to be the most valuable.""The basic concept is most valuable. I like how they have designed the solution. They create an Identity Cube, and then they do all the processes and configuration around the Identity Cube.""It offers a single source of truth. Everything can be handled from one tier.""Security and administration for any new/current access.""It is a scalable product.""The support is very good.""The first valuable feature of the solution is its interface. The second feature of the solution is the level of flexibility it provides."

Cons
"We use a third-party API called Nebula API to integrate the account for authorization. The time-bound access area in Entra can be a problem. It can be improved in terms of the granularity of the permissions."

"They can work on their strategy for the on-premise version. They have to decide whether and for how long they will support the on-premise version. The new features first appear in the cloud, and after that, they are released for the on-premise version. In the cloud, you have more options and flexibility, which is absolutely normal. They have to have a clear strategy regarding whether they'll support the on-premises version with the same focus. The licensing for on-premise and cloud is a little bit different. They can make it the same.""It allowed to implement the automated processes when a new employee is hired. It allows to have a main central process for new hires.""SailPoint IdentityIQ has a primitive AI engine.""The product must improve its support.""The solution, in general, is quite expensive.""If there's a price reduction for SailPoint IdentityIQ, that would be helpful. Another area for improvement in the product is the technical support, which needs to be more friendly to customers.""The solution's technical support team's response time and skills need improvement since it is an area where there are shortcomings.""The cost of this solution is high. The technical assistance center could be improved. They're very good, but considering the intricacies of the solution, they can further improve."
